Moon 10 String Mandola/Mandolin~Scale length 16": 406mm. Standard tuning CGDAE (CGDA as mandola; GDAE as mandolin)
Specially made for us by Jimi this is one of my 10 string projects, it is mandola scale length, 16", tuned CGDAE so you have a mandola and madolin on one instrument! Great for rythm as you get a fuller chord sound but also easily playable as a mandolin or mandola. See the cittern page for more information on this. It sounds better than any instrument at this price can be expected to. It has a bass response that few mandolas can achieve but is also sweet and clear in the higher registers.~Scale length 16": 406mm. Standard tuning CGDAE (CGDA as mandola; GDAE as mandolin)

Moon mandocello/bouzouki/cittern 10 string short scale (23.5")~Jimmy Moon's instruments are some of the best value for money guitars and mandolins around. Because my musical knowledge/skills are fairly elementary I've retuned it from DGDAD to CGDAE, giving me a mandocello CGDA and Bouzouki GDAE, only two notes to change. Either way it has a very impressive presence, deep bass and great sustain. 23.5" scale, solid spruce top, solid maple back and sides its quite a looker too. Jimmy describes this one as the Standard Cittern. Retuned CGDAE it’s a shorter scale version of the 25.25” scale instrument below. The longer scale gives a bit more oomph on the low C and a better chord sound. This shorter scale version is easier if you are doing a lot of melody work. Comes with heavy duty gigbag.~Jimmy Moon's instruments are some of the best value for money guitars and mandolins around.

With dolphin cutouts in the carved spruce top, carved rosewood back and sides, the bridge is interesting too, made form ebony but with white wood too, Ebony is black wood in the middle and white around the edges of the trunk. It has a very rich strong tone, great for chords but cuttin and sweet for melody work.~For lovers of unusual intruments this is a delight.

Weber Absaroka 10 string/cittern - SOLD~I liked the Absaroka Octave Mandolin/Bouzouki so much I asked Bruce to make a 10 string version. I've strung it in unison and with octaves for the bottom three and can't decide which I like best. It has amazing bass and sustain and the trebbles give it a kind of ethereal quality. Its the only mandolin family member instrument I've had that sounds even better plugged in, with its McIntyre feather puickup the bass response has to be heard to be believed.~I liked the Absaroka Octave Mandolin/Bouzouki so much I asked Bruce to make a 10 string version.

Vega Cylinderback 10 string/cittern - SOLD~Vega cylinderback mandolins are hard to find, mandolas very hard to find, there are very few mandolin/mandolas. With a 15" scale length, in-between mandolin and mandola, it is tuned CGDAE, so you have a mandolin and mandola all in one, great for chords as you get an extra note giving a fuller sound. Why more instruments aren't made in this format is a mystery to me. The cylinder back increases the volume of the sound chamber, this increases the bass response and resonance giving a throaty sound without loosing the mandolin sound at the top end. Its in fantastic condition, there’s a small (1/8") ding on the bass point and a professionally repaired short split on the back. The case appears to be original, my only doubt is that its in such great condition, but as they haven't made them like this since the 1920s I can only assume its the real McCoy.~Vega cylinderback mandolins are hard to find, mandolas very hard to find, there are very few mandolin/mandolas.
